about

Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods is a capacity building organization that supports the growth and development of vibrant neighborhoods and groups throughout Winston-Salem and Forsyth County by assisting communities in achieving their self-identified goals.

Neighborhood Small Grants — to help remove the barrier of limited resources
Training — to help remove the barrier of limited know-how
Organizing and Planning Assistance — to help remove the barrier of isolation and create collaborative opportunities
